On Friday independent Timothy Cahill faulted plans by Republican candidate for governor Charles Baker to attend a rally with Perry in Dennis on Saturday.

Cahill said that it’s clear that when Perry served as a police sergeant in Wareham in the early 1990s, he failed to protect a 14-year- old girl from an illegal strip search by an officer under Perry’s supervision.

The victim of that strip search released a statement Wednesday saying Perry should have been able to hear her screaming, but did nothing. Perry said the other officer’s action was `despicable.’

Baker running mate Richard Tisei said Thursday that the campaign is standing by Perry, a candidate in the 10th Congressional District.
